Extra details from original publication
Remarks: This species resembles Turborotalia hirsuta (d’Orbigny) but di¡ers from it essentially in having more thickened wall since the young stage (compare Plate II, 5 with Plate II, 3, which represents a young form of T. hirsuta). The new species is absent above the middle of MIS 4 but increases downward in reaching the maxima in MIS 7 and 10 of core NP36 (Fig. 9).
